Band capture first at Gorham music competition

Three hours on a school bus is a long way, but the trip proved worth it for the Fonda-Fultonville music program. Our students walked away being named the best Class B school in the annual Gorham Festival of Band competition on May 29-30.

This was the group's first trip to this competition (Gorham is near Canandaigua, one Thruway exit east of Rochester). The Wind Ensemble took first place in the concert band competition with a score of 187 out of a possible 200 points. Jazz Ensemble took first place with a score of 90 out of 100. Junior Jazz took second place with a score of 78.5 and Marching Band took third place with a score of 81.5. Matt Carter was named the festival's best overall soloist. The combined scores earned Fonda-Fultonville the highest overall rating and "The Best in Class" trophy for Class B. Congratulations to Mr. Lenig, Mr. Kowalczyk, and the members of the band program on their terrific accomplishment!
